Anybody play this game? Bought it off steam last week and I'm addicted. Downloaded an amazing Civil War Mod for it and I am totally hooked.
-
yeah its a great game. ALOT of reply value to it with mads and such. Dont forget to use your terrain!
-
If you've never played any of the others, empire was my least favorite era and I loved it. Heck I still play Rome from back in 05. The replay with mods is insane.
-
I play Napoleon :)
Shogun is my least favorite, but even I have to love it
-
I stick to
Rome, Empire and Napoleon.
Only downside to Napoleon is the fact there really isn't a "Grand Campaign".
-
well i would be playing right now but steam decided to take a dump on me. :furious
-
I can barely play ANY games. My computer keeps crashing. :|
-
My current tally in Empire is 779 hours played. :rock
Tried Napoleon for a while, but the way the AI cheats when you are playing against the French turned me off in a hurry.
Shogun was very boring to me, uninstalled it after less than 20 hours played and haven't missed it in the least.
Only complaint I really have for Empire is that they simplified some of the units and their capabilities way too much, or tried too hard to make one type of unit that was almost the same as another type of unit different when it didn't need to be. But on the whole, I love its playstyle, and it's one of the few TW games I've played that actually rewards you for using historical tactics instead of innovating and trying to get fancy. Napoleon did too, but the whole 'French can never be beaten' thing just ticked me off.
-
Tactics do play a huge part in this game. I always try to maneuver my units to attack on the flanks because it breaks the enemy quicker. I also spend awhile studying the terrain before deployment because that can make the difference.
I'm playing as Prussia right now and am constantly in a state of war. I had, at one time, Poland-Lithuania, Austria, and Bavaria at war with me, which really stretched my army thin. I just captured Vienna, but the Poles retook Warsaw. Very challenging game. I've dedicated most of my technology research to the military... I just got fire by rank, which absolute decimates the enemy, and square formation is top class against cavalry charges.

You guys are killing me! My computer died and I can't afford a new one to play on! :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry

Need more information about this civil war mod...any links for it? It might drag me back into playing it again.

I'll hook you up. Only problem I had with it was the incredibly long range of the units.

^^^ That's the one. Here is the link to the forums for it in case you want to read more about it and everything.

Just note that that it isn't a "Grand Campaign" in the sense of the regular ETW game. There is no research/technology tab, there are no ships at all, and most other countries aren't even in the game. Those that are have units that are over a century behind in terms of technology. It really is just meant to be a land "war" game of the USA vs CSA.
Also it helps to have the Warpath DLC because you can play this mod on a much bigger North American map.

Ive been playing the civil war mod for the last couple days and im addicted. I absolutely love the artillery in this game. The range it has makes it a major factor in battles as opposed to the grand campaign in empire. The only question I have is how do I get more generals? There was a period of time early in the campaign where i could recruit them but they arent available any more. :headscratch:

Do believe that is a bug. Even if you have patch 3.4.1 downloaded it still does that. I had both Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson leading my 2 best armies and they just disappeared on me :lol
-
They didn't dissapear from the field, i just cant recruit any more.
-
Yep. It's a shame really. You miss out on a lot of good ones if you don't recruit them in time.
-
The only one I really wanted that I dont have is Lee. I have stonewall Jackson, Longstreet and Beauregard.
-
Have you managed to get any of the "better" CSA units yet? Like the Stonewall Brigade and Hood's Texans. They sure are rock solid in battle.
-
Yeah ive got most of the good units grouped into one army in northern Virginia right now. I have all the stonewall brigades and all the confederate sharpshooters backed by 4 units of 3" ordinance rifles and a few cavalry units. Freakin unstoppable.
-
I only ever played as the Union (of course). My favorite tactic was usually to hold the main armies busy in the east and send a large Cavalry army or two raiding the west for as long as possible destroying their strategics and infrasturucture. Best campaign I ever had actually had the Union win the war by the summer of 1863, basically by using US Grant's tactics right from the start and using your larger numbers to wear them down and tear everything up while they're busy. I think it ended up with all of the Confederacy gutted and reconquered, and three barely intact armies left in Virginia. Last turn had four almost full armies hit them at once- was a slaughter.
I can't remember which ACW mod I used though, might not have been that one. This was a good year or so ago, then I got bored with it.
-
I love the Total War series, but after about... oh 2 summers of almost non-stop play in R:TW's SPQR mod I've been extremely burnt out on the series. If you like horrifyingly large and numerous battles (Try 5-10 in a slow turn once it gets going.) Then that was the mod for you. I ended up killing over a million Macedonians over something like 45 turns in two or three months of playing every day for hours and hours a day. I could only afford, I think it was 6 legions at the time, and I'd make enough headway to get close to a city before having to pull back and reconstitute that legion they were so torn up. I'd crush 5-6, 7 if I was lucky armies in a turn with a single legion, and make two steps of progress before having to retreat.
Finally scraped the money together for a fleet to fend of the pirates and outflank the Macedonian hordes and take Greece, and then the Germans hacked their way through the last of the Gauls and invaded and I was done.
Only played about 100 hours of Empire total war, not as nice as the N:TW mod for the old Medieval:TW. I really like their style, but I like the new logistics introduced into Empire. Just wish it was more in depth and that armies required supply trains. And I wish to God that they would stop calling 120 man formations regiments. That's a company, damnit, not a Regiment. A real regiment, before being carved up in battle, would have the same number of men as half the armies running around in that game.
But that's my only real complaint.

Well I have hit a stalemate. I am playing as the confederacy and have cleared Maryland of Union forces and captured Washington D.C. :rock but thats where the fun ends. I have 2 full strength armies in the area under Generals Jackson and Longstreet, But the union Forces have built up over 10,000 men around Philadelphia. Both sides have tried to advance but it always ends in a draw with both sides too weak to follow up the attack. It is March 1863. Meanwhile my army in the west has moved into Western New York and encountered the Union forces there and ground to a stalemate as well. I just hope this doesnt end like the real life story. I hope I dont get cocky and get my butt kicked during an invasion of Pennsylvania. :O

man, i should learn not to look at these discussions, ends up costing me money...a civil war mod? :O :x :x :x

Go here to get the Civil War Mod. You should also have the Warpath DLC installed so that you can play on the enlarged campaign map in game. To play on the Warpath map, go to the top of the screen to "Campaigns" when you first click on the launcher, you will see Warpath there. That's all you need to play. Be prepared to say goodbye to your life :)

I took Washington, fortified it with two grand armies under Lee and Jackson, Stonewalls and every other elite unit as well as some considerable Howitzers and Ordinance Rifles. Routed Ulysses S Grant's entire Army of the Potomac using Texas Rangers to run them down. And then marched a huge army up the western valley towards New York. Volunteer Infantry and Confederate Cavalry with Howitzers and Horse Artillery (The sharp shooters are all in the East with the Elite Armies). After defeating the Western Army, I signed a peace treaty with Lincoln and then signed trade deals with every nation I could.
Now the South is an industrial AND agricultural juggernaut. I'm maintaining three seriously dangerous army and turning a 10,000 gold profit. :rock
-
Just took Washington as well in an epic battle. Had my "Robert E. Lee" Army barely hold off two Union Armies before my "Stonewall Jackson" army arrived at the last minute to complete the victory. CSA Sharpshooters are absolutely immense. Had them defending a battery of horse artillery on high ground, and they held off regiment after regiment of Federals climbing the hill to get to my guns. It was incredible. They are so accurate and don't take many casualties. My cannons were firing canister point blank into the Federals as well, and needed a last ditch cavalry charge to prevent them from being over run. Artillery is so deadly and effective in this mod if you employ it effectively.
-
Sharpshooters must be one of those units that's great if you use them, but the AI doesn't know how, because I've never had any issues with them. Just hold their attention with an equal number of regiments of infantry and flank them, or just bombard them with artillery until they're depleted enough to be overrun. They've never really given me any problems.

Same here. The AI just places them in front of their main battle line to act as de facto "skirmishers", which is an absolute waste because they can torn apart by artillery and eventually my infantry when they get into range. I always place sharpshooters on my flanks or on high ground, preferably in woods or behind a stone wall where they can find cover and be concealed a little. I also use them to quickly flank around the enemy when they advance close to my main battle line, so that I can hit them from the flank/rear and provide enfilading fire, which destroys the morale of the enemy.
-
I have some of the others in the series, but only tried the Demo today. Seemed pretty good, but I didn't think much to the AI.

-
What difficulty setting were you on? If you aren't on high, the AI usually just comes directly at you/doesn't flank/ allows you to flank them quite easily.You're quality of troops were probably much better than the American's, also. I'm playing as Prussia right now, and I absolutely slaughter anyone I come up against because of superior technology and quality of my infantry.

Hmm, no mention of Shogun 2? How does Empire compare to Shogun 2? I only played Shogun 2 so Im curious.

personally, the original shogun and rome were great. medieval, medieval2 kinda sucked. never played shogun2 or napoleon. empire is looking like a great cross between civ4 and rome.
-
Napoleon is a great game as far as combat goes. The artillery is MUCH more effective, and I love the sounds that arent present in empire, i.e. marching drums and music when your units are moving. The only real downside is the lack of a grand campaign.
-
ok now i have another freakin problem. Empire crashes at launch every time. I have the civil war mod and it runs fine. Is there a problem with having the mod and trying to run regular Empire?

You have to return ETW to Vanilla settings.
When you close down ACW. You need to select "Vanilla Ready" to reset the packs to Empire's.

Just saw this thread I started with Empire/Napoleon two months before Shogun came out. Played Empire for awhile got frustrated with naval combat but got the hang of ground warfare by using terrain, Sun Tzu tactics etc.. Wanted to take my novice skills online but everyone was playing Shogun so I got that. Got my but handed to me at times but also whooped some but. Got called names, a cheat and dirty player. Got sick of that. Got Fall of the Samurai later tried online again same thing. I had one match where I had hidden units that marched behind him while my main force marched towards him double envelopment. Just complained and pulled the plug. I was called a camper once but I had two forces split up medium army and I was moving around not sure why he called me that when I did everything to flank him and keep the fight on my terms. That was the last time I was online.
Went back to Empire recently and finally figured out how to do naval combat. That was a moral victory. I stayed with it and figured it out. I can now do large engagements with class 3 ships of the line. I wished I knew about this game when it was popular I would have liked to try my skills against someone. Also I know just like this game there are people who complain when things don't go there way. However with Total War I haven't gone out of my way to find a group of guys to guide me. AH is a different community where that's possible.
I haven't checked out the Civil War mod but may check it out after I complete my Austrian long war campaign.

Empire Total War had a much steeper learning curve than the others IMHO as a result of all the different aspects of the main part of the game (not combat), economics ect. I would definently give the Civil War mod a try once you play through the grand campaign a few times. The civil war requires a whole new set of tactics. I learned that the side with the most effective artillery usually has a huge advantage, where in total war the artillery is just kind of hit and miss at best.

Before I go and download the Civil War mod Could you explain closing down ACW to restore ETW to Vanilla settings.

Real easy Skittish.
Hit the "Vanilla Ready" button as soon as your done with ACW and it should work perfectly. It should appear automatically as you close ACW.

Shogun 2 is sweet. Fall of the Samurai turns it into more or less the U.S. Civil War. Same tactics.
The AI is meh, but it's not terrible. It's fun to have a unique army. I personally had an entire army of no-dachi samurais (THE glass cannons of Shogun 2), and had some pretty awesome fights. One of them included a 1000+ charge vs 300 or 400 matchlocks. Painful to watch but oh so fun to see the matchlocks getting geared to bits in melee.

I figured it out while downloading it felt a little more dumb then normal. :lol
I played it it worked great. Turned my computer off went back both games crashed couldn't figure it out. I reinstalled Empire. Worked fine. Turned my computer off same thing. I did some thinking rebooted my computer logged on to steam then ACW worked fine. Don't know much about steam but I guess letting ACW connect to steam causes some sort of crash. I was under the impression that ACW is an approved mod and that wouldn't happen or am I missing something.
-
Thats weird. Ive had maybe 2 crashes since I installed and its working fine.
On the other hand, its Summer 1865 and the Union is holding on desperatley to a stronghold near Falmouth, Maine. Its only a matter of time. Mexico has, for some odd reason, declared war and invaded Texas. the invasion was repelled and I now control Mexico City.

you didn't by chance pick "acw ready" when you exited the acw mod did you? i did that twice before i figured out that was causing the same problem on my system. at this point i just opt for the slightly longer load time and choose vanilla ready every time i exit the mod.

:furious you sir are a dirty rotten scoundrel... my armies are mostly ineffective and full of yellow bellies...the only time i can win a battle is to have 2 to 1 odds, even with heavy artillery support.

What sort of troops are you fighting with?
-
What sort of troops are you fighting with?
a mix of volunteers and regular infantry...2 to 4 units of mixed dragoons. haven't been able to get past 1861 without losing at least 2 cities a few rounds after the war starts, friggin financial resources get drained fast.
-
The special units such as the stonewall brigade are nearly unstoppable. My main army in the north is comprised of all the available stonewall brigades, Hood's Texans, and Confederate sharpshooters supported by 4 units of 3 inch ordinance rifles. I usually keep 2 additional armies in reserve with the Confederate Regular infantry and volunteer infantry. The only real tactical problem I have had with the union armies is there are too many yankees and not enough bullets.
-
I just started a new campaign as the Prussians in the un-modded base version of E:TW. It's taken me a while to learn this trick (I don't usually bother to get fancy with diplomacy), but oh, the havoc you can wreak when you get yourself military access to your neighbors...
Less than a decade into the campaign, Austria simultaneously declared war on me and France (no idea why, we weren't even friendly, let alone allied). I held them off and took Silesia, while the French couldn't stop them and lost Alsace-Lorraine. Since that's one of the territories I need for a victory, I snuck an army through Hannover and the Rhineland and took it from them. The ensuing attempts of them and their allies to get it back from me ended up getting me an army that was at level 5 experience all across the board, and about six armies destroyed (not all massive or well trained, of course)... all by 1720. I now have an extremely well trained army in an easily defended province, poised to strike almost anywhere in western Europe in two turns or less.... oh my.
It's good to be German and Evil. :devil
-
Oh, meant to post this one too- if you can get it to install and run properly (some folks have issues with it), the Empires of Destiny mod is SO worth it to ramp up the 18th Century campaign- many more units and playable factions, improved graphics and AI, and revamped sound and environmentals. Includes almost every GOOD mod released up to this point.

My first impressions of EOD are very good. It makes the number of men in a regiment larger, and i think the artillery is more accurate. I will definitely be sticking with it. I haven't fought a naval battle yet though, too busy suppressing rebellions around Vienna against the obvious Prussian superiority. :D
-
I redownloaded this the other night and grabbed darthmod Platinum and I remember why I quit playing. I get on to play for and hour next I know its 4 am :cry Its awesome when the battle if going poorly , but then you just have that right regiment is juuussst the rigth spot and they turn the tide, Love that!

lol, this fraggin acw mod is kickin my buttocks badly. by the time i get the upgrades needed for actual fighting armies, the yankees have 3 to 1 odds against me :ahand
best i've been able to do is declare war on mexico and take over the northern most city with the silver and gold mines...then wait for cash to build up so i can make the needed improvements and recruit armies.

Yessir Dobly, North and South. You need Napoleon TW, not Empire though.
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=430508
The amount of units on the field is insane. I tried one of the scenarios you can play in the multiplayer tab with AI running the Union troops, and myself commanding the Good ol' boys. There was over 15 units of JUST artillery under my command. Also, the number of troops in each little unit tag is upped to nearly 400 soldiers, so the numbers of troops available are a lot higher than Napoleon TW. The sounds are awesome too, as is the music.
It's around 600mb download, and has fairly basic install instructions available on the link above. Try it out, you won't be sorry. Remember it IS a beta however, and the single player "campaign" as it stands isn't running yet, but you can set up a ton of custom battles, and there is about 8 historical matchups available in the multiplayer which you can play on your own vs AI. When this mod is complete, I can see me spending a LOT of time playing with it. I've already had some battles with over 25 THOUSAND troops deployed on the map, and that's just the beginning of it with this beta - more will surely come. The Antietam map is huge, and even with 30k troops deployed, there is a lot of space left for more. Be warned, you need a pretty decent PC to start putting this many troops/arty/cavalry on the board, but you can get away with it if you turn down a bit of the graphic detail, which is pretty impressive. The cannon balls, grape shot, explosions, and everything else combined with the sounds makes a pretty awesome environment. Hearing a couple of regiments open up with rifle fire is a really crackling event to see and hear with this mod on a good sound system/headphone setup.

What's your PC setup?

I just upgraded Titanic. I had an i7 960 with 2 6850's in Xfire and a regular spinner 7200 RPM drive, and an Asus 24" LED.
I went to a much faster system now. i7 3930k, Asus RIVE Rampage 4 extreme MB, Corsair 4x4gig Dominator 1866 ram (super fast, expensive too, 180$), I had originally put a 690gtx card in it, but ended up trading it away in a trade deal, and now have 2 680 4gig FTW in SLI from eVGA, Samsung SSD drives 2 128 in RAID 0, a Caviar black 7200 1 gig storage, all in a corsair 800D case, with the corsair h100i (the new better one) water cooler. I've gone to 3 monitor now as well, with 3 BenQ 120hz 24" gaming monitors, on a stand that cost almost as much as the effing monitors. I overclock the 3930k, it's a real champ for overclocking and the RAM I bought doesn't hurt either.
Even the older system ran this mod fairly well, but it can really test a system when you put 25 thousand troops on the field for sure. I can't wait for Rome 2, it's one of the games I built this new system for. For now I can run anything at full blast detail on 3 monitors at 57whatever by 12whatever the max is for resolution on these things. BF3 stays pegged at max in ultra, same as all the COD games. Aces High I can crank up everything and still see 59/60 no matter how many cons or puffy ack I see. My old system couldn't do that on a single monitor, even though it was usually 60fps with some of the settings turned down a smidge or two.
-
:huh
I'll take that old system off your mind.
Purdy please? :cry :angel:
